Google is testing this with some owners of the Pixel 6 and newer devices in the US. Tensor is clearly required and this suggests on-device AI is being leveraged. The goal is to “enhance our Call Screen capabilities and reduce robocalls, giving you time back and peace of mind.”

What devices can receive the beta?

Devices that may receive this beta will be the Pixel 6 and above, within the United States.

How can I check my Call Screen Settings to enable/disable the feature?

You can check out this helpful article for steps on checking your Call Screen settings.

When will this become available for everyone?

We’re looking forward to sharing more when the feature launches.

    The current call screen script is way too wordy, hopefully this one doesn’t make people instantly hang up

      Mentioning “a service by Google” makes it sound like an ad.

        I changed the voice on my P7P to a male voice. People stay on the line longer until it gets too the end, then they hang up.
